I do have the pro version, and the attack envelope is indeed interesting. Pulling it up - while it makes some of this "thunk" go away, it also gives this stringy / fade in effect - which is expected. Overall this doesn't work for me.
It seems to me that it is impossible now to get the pure string sound, even when pulling the hammer noise all the way down, and placing the microphones far from the piano. There is always this hammer noise.

(Get a copy of PIANOTEQ PRO 8.2 instead.)
Already I got one!
If you do find however unacceptable the recent update to PIANOTEQ STANDARD 8.2 you received from MODARTT, anybody else who'd just also upgrade to PIANOTEQ PRO 8.2 possibly could point out several advantages to you, those it has primarily over the PIANOTEQ STANDARD 8.2 edition. They might include among others the Attack Envelope from the additional parameters available on a note per note basis; within that edition and which you can adjust personally to your very own liking.
Although, no demo of PIANOTEQ PRO is offered.
You have really to commit to it and towards professional uses, probably.
Personally I’m of the opinion nothing is impossible with a full glass tumbler or either a full working copy of version 8.2 right there within arm’s length in front of you!
Now let me see, etalmor, if whenever you change Attack Envelope you’re sure to lift the yellow horizontal line of it to whatever level you want and by your selection there equally sure to shorten any of the resultant yellow bars’ length accordingly via rescale inside of the Note Edit pane. Which ought to had affected the Attack Envelope, if somehow you wanted to lower the amplitude on any number of corresponding note attacks.
(Obviously additional parameters are available to you including Spectrum profile, Direct sound duration, Damper Noise, Key Release Noise, Res EQ, Res Dur, and of course the swap of microphones to SF12 mics {because of the small diaphragms}).
Yet often overlooked is Delay whether you switch on or off that parameter; it greatly affects as much as it can thicken or thin out the sound of a note beginning and in as much add to or take away from its start, attack in amplitude on any preset.
If adjustment to no one parameter alone gets results you'd like, still some combination of the above mentioned just might! (Smile.)
Already Philippe Guillaume himself commented on recent developments, direct changes from MODARTT to Spectrum profile in PIANOTEQ 8.2. He recently replied to Pianoteq 8.2.0 update with muffled sound?.
Philippe Guillaume wrote:To get an idea of what sort of changes in settings are induced by this modification in the soundboard, you can compare side by side the NY Steinway D presets from 8.1 with 8.2. The most visible changes may be the Note per Note Spectrum Profile. On a similar vein, changing microphones positions usually also requires some revoicing via the Spectrum Profile.
Maybe you want to pay some very close attention to what he specifically said, about ver. 8.2, and on your own now try out damper and key release noises but after only personally you’d examined the changes in Spectrum profile inside PIANOTEQ PRO 8.2. (And, post periodically whenever anything positive develops for you or you're yourself really onto something whether pleasantly or even disappointingly new.)
